Sorry, we really didn’t like it at all.

Yes I think it’s a well known and reliable brand.
  • Is Flora a brand that caters to all your family’s needs?
No

The taste was not buttery enough. The texture was melt in mouth but quite thin. It was also quite salty tasting. I thought it was a good price and liked that it was lower fat.

We really didn’t like it at all.

No we would stick with spreadable butter. I might try cooking with it as it is so much lower in fat than butter.

No because the kids didn’t like it.

I prefer the flavour of butter but the rest of the family were satisfied with the new Flora.

Weemargaret · 07/06/2019 12:11
  • Overall, how satisfied were you and your family with new Flora Original?
We were very satisfied with it and every member of the family enjoyed the taste. Flora isn't usually a brand I would buy, for various reasons but this trial has changed my mind quite a lot.
  • Is Flora a brand you can trust?
Up until this trial I would have said no. After reading some information on spreads a few years ago, I stopped buying them completely and started using butter only, even though this was more expensive. I did this because I didn't want my family eating artificial products and preferred the natural nature of butter. But when I bought Flora, I noticed that it comes 100% from plants and this has made me reconsider it. It also doesn't have the plastic-y taste that I associate with spreads. So my trust in Flora has definitely increased!
  • Is Flora a brand that caters to all your family’s needs?
Yes I think so. Everyone likes it which is a big plus point and it is versatile. I can spread it or use it for baking. It is easy to spread which is important for my young children because they always want to butter their own toast!
  • What did you like or dislike about new Flora Original? What did your family like or dislike?
I don't eat a lot of butter or spreads as a spread so I can't really comment on the taste. But I did use it for baking and it was very effective and added a nicer flavour than the baking butter I usually use. My husband and two children were very impressed with it and thought the taste was excellent. My husband wants us to continue buying it as he preferred it to our usual butter!
  • Did you like the taste of New Flora Original? How did your family like the taste of New Flora Original?
Yes we all liked the taste very much, I think it tastes much more natural now and closer to butter which is very positive. There were no complaints at all so it went down very well!
  • Would you choose New Flora Original for you or your family over other margarine and/or butter brands? Please explain why or why not
Yes I think we will buy it again as long as the price was reasonable and I was reassured that it was a healthier option for us. I liked seeing my family enjoying it as much as they did.
  • Would you recommend Flora Original to friends or family? Please explain why or why not.
Yes I would recommend it because I think it is a high quality product and now that I'm not as worried about the health effects, I am happier to recommend it to people.

Thanks for letting us try this product, it was fun and eye-opening!

-Overall, how satisfied were you and your family with new Flora Original?
This was a very nice spread to use - it tasted great and spread easily.

  • Is Flora a brand you can trust?
I'd like to think so - I know that it has been around for many years and my Grandma used to use it!
  • Is Flora a brand that caters to all your family’s needs?
Yes - it can be used for sandwiches, cakes and pastry, which saved me buying three different products.
  • What did you like or dislike about new Flora Original? What did your family like or dislike?
It was easy to spread from the fridge and melted nicely on my morning toast without making it too soggy. The only thing I didn't like was the appearance as it is more yellow than the butter I normally use so my butter icing wasn't as pale as normal, but still tasted nice.
  • Did you like the taste of New Flora Original? How did your family like the taste of New Flora Original?
We liked the taste and my daughter really liked on her crumpet in the morning, saying it made it extra delicious! I made a victoria sponge with it for my Dad's birthday and, quite frankly, it was the best sponge cake i've ever made so a definite winner!
